The OFFICIAL Liverpool FC thread - Arne to Slot right in?

[laoislad]

This is a weird one. Especially with the kind of money on offer.

Do they not run the risk of disruption in the camp if they fail to sell him and he's forced to return?

Or are they holding out for 120?

Thats daft money.  I can only assume that liverpool will turn it down until they have a replacement more or less signed. Otherwise its wait until January and Leipsig might play ball on Keita.

He will be sold on deadline day I reckon.
It would be mad money to turn down now at this stage. By all  accounts he wants to go. No point in keeping him if he really wants out.

[Armamike]

The club could be holding out until they have a replacement lined up though and at the same time milk a few more mill out of Barca nearer the deadline. Bit more risky for Barca though.  They would be wise to have other options lined up.

[gawa316]

By all accounts we've had 140 odd million that we already can't spend, no point having another 120 sitting in the bank.

Make him stay, it's a World Cup year and he could be one of their leading players. Can't see him be able to do that if he downs tools for a season.

[Armamike]

Agree completely.

They're pursuing Dembele at the same time, and he's probably going to end up being a better player than Coutinho ever will be. Way younger too.

Coutinho is probably scared shitless that if Dembele goes to Barca and lights it up they will have little interest in him next summer and he'll be stuck with the penny pinchers in Anfield. The Boston lads are behaving like they are building a moneyball baseball team and not a soccer team capable of challenging for honours.

Jeez, think how much hippy crack the Liverpool squad could buy with £114m!

Bit early to be in the pub, eh Gall Bladder?

If they are penny pinchers why are they refusing a bid of £114 million you idiot. Also they were prepared to pay £70million for Kieta and similar for VVD.
Go back to taking shite about your poxy Roscommon sheepmen that got humiliated against Mayo.

You're talking about two deals where they failed to purchase anything but a black eye as if it showed any ambition. Ambition would be signing players, not talking about them.

The only reason Coutinho hasn't been sold is because they know full well they have no replacement and are unwilling to spend the money required to get one at short notice. It's effecting Liverpool far more than it is Barca.

[Captain Obvious]

119 million pound offered and likely to rise for Coutinho. Has Ed Woodward taken over the transfer dealings with Barcelona? Liverpool should keep holding out and see how much of over the top offer they can receive. 

[Tony Baloney]

This is a weird one. Especially with the kind of money on offer.

Thats daft money.  I can only assume that liverpool will turn it down until they have a replacement more or less signed. Otherwise its wait until January and Leipsig might play ball on Keita.

It would be mad money to turn down now at this stage. By all  accounts he wants to go. No point in keeping him if he really wants out.

Take the money and run. If he's not playing there is no benefit to having him.

You think come Sept 1st if he is still a Liverpool player, he won't play for us?

He probably will but the fact he won't want to might need thought out a bit more....

[AZOffaly]

Worked out ok with De Gea I suppose.

Except De Gea has chosen to stay, rather than be forced to after submitting a transfer request.  Quite a difference.
